just curius as to which is more daily drivable, if you have the same amoutn of horsepower on both, lets say ...450 is the number your looking at (rear wheel that is)

Re: how much more daily driver friendly is boost over n/a?

I've heard that boost is the way to go for better daily driving characters. N/A and that much power is going to require a pretty big cam and ported heads along with bolt ons. I know that Grease's car made 412 with a GM847 and AI heads - the car was revving to 7k

Installing the blower on my car this week and i'm keeping my 6500 rpm redline and 6000 rpm shifts.

Trust me, once you go with a blower you'll find that its always somthing....

I would have rather had a nice NA car after all this mess.

well with your example of 450 rwhp both would be very good daily drivers.
but if you want 700 or 1000 rwhp if it is na its not gonna be a good daily driver at all.
but you could have a turbo car withthat kinda power and drive it everywhere
